Green Grass Industries Limited (GGIL) has used a fixed-time period inventory system that involved taking a complete inventory count of all items each month. However, increasing labor costs, are forcing GGIL, to examine alternative ways to reduce the amount of labor involved in inventory stockrooms, yet without increasing other costs, such a shortage costs. Table 10 is a random sample of 20 GGIL's items. Table 10.
